Never walk alone, especially at night.

Walk in groups, use the shuttle service or request security to escort you.

Keep your phone and valuables out of sight.

Carry a whistle and pepper spray at all times to be able to draw attention if needed.

Choose the safest route, even if it is not the shortest.

Avoid isolated areas, especially when you exercise early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Be conscious of your environment, as criminals prefer to target someone not aware of his/her direct surroundings.

Keep a safe distance if a motorist asks for directions.

If you suspect that someone might be following you, change direction.

Be a caring Matie: accompany a friend.

Property on a car seat is tempting to a thief. Lock it in the boot.
